I'm trying to make this ability the same as this other ability

Ability 1: Screenshot - 0a1181939abd793f26f69abe2284b27f - Gyazo

I'm trying to make this ability a unit ability and exactly the same as this ability

Abiltiy 2: Screenshot - a54a8c132bcc6759ad63a464d7e45f81 - Gyazo

It seems the data fields are different.

Basically what I'm trying to do is. The default hotkey for the blink ability is "B"

For my games German players, this doesn't work so I need the hotkey field to light up red/purple.

So I basically need to either fix this ability or find another ability identical to this one. Any ideas of how to fix it, or another ability?
 
The only solution I see for this problem is that you need to extract the AbilityStrings.txt of war3x with MPQ to your desktop, open it and following the logic of the file, at the end of it type "[RawData]" without the "", inside [] should be the raw data of your ability. Then in the next line type Name=Blink or whatever
Following on next line with Hotkey=B
And there you go. Save it where you first extracted and import it to your map, make it have the path like it was in the MPQ (Units\AbilityStrings.txt).
This should overwrite any fields that aren't changed (black).
